Chapter 1. Setting Up OpenERP

OpenERP is a powerful set of open source business applications built on the OpenObject framework. When you first install OpenERP the only functionality you will have is limited messaging options between users. From there, OpenERP allows you to install exactly the modules you need, as you need them. This flexibility makes OpenERP much more accessible than many ERP solutions.

In this chapter we will start working with OpenERP by covering the installation and basics of setting up an OpenERP database.

The topics we cover will include:

  • How to get started with running OpenERP online

  • Setting up a trial company

  • Installing OpenERP in Windows and Ubuntu

  • Troubleshooting and configuring your installation
